title: Analysis of brominated dioxins and furans by high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry.
abstract: This article reviews the available literature on the analysis of brominated dibenzo-p dioxins and furans (PBDD/Fs) by high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). Sample extraction and clean up, injection techniques, chromatographic separation, labelled standards and QA/QC works are discussed. Furthermore, full separation of PBDD/Fs from polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) during clean up and control of possible chromatographic interference of PBDEs during instrumental analysis as well as possible actions to further enhance the quality of published data are discussed in detail.
